Hampshire · TR19 inspections and grease testing
TR19 Inspection in New Copse
One call covers TR19 inspections and grease testing in New Copse, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
TR19 inspection in New Copse
Before any clean in New Copse, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and grease readings are taken at set points. Typical jobs include extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and missing TR19 certificates or history, across access surveys, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits.
Work in a small place like New Copse starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What happens if it’s left?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Grease, kitchens and New Copse
New Copse, about 49 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Food hygiene inspections in New Copse are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Alton Community Hospital (about 3.2 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in New Copse, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around New Copse (Bentworth Hall is about 0.9 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.
New Copse is about 4 miles west of Alton, in Hampshire. We provide TR19 inspection for commercial premises of every kind in New Copse and the rest of Hampshire.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in New Copse
Do you cover smaller places like New Copse?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in New Copse?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, pictures, access and a recommended cleaning interval. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. The visit is timed for when the area isn’t in use, whether that’s late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Never cook with filters missing
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to New Copse can be planned properly.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- Design faults in the extract system
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
What affects the quote in New Copse
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
